A startup I worked for was constantly seeking to have everyone aligned on things. The original concept of having people pointed in the same direction was admirable, but it quickly became something like a capital-A ‘Aligned’ (meaning good) with the inverse capital-U ‘Unaligned’ being about the worst thing you could be. God help the person who found the word ‘Unaligned’ on their semester review...

Sounds like the difference between "agile development" and "Agile development" ;-)

It sounds like a cult !

That sounds unaligned. Please report to the Alignment Center at your earliest convenience. Escorts will be available for your use in 20 seconds.

This may not sound the way you intended.

I’ve tried to read that for a solid few minutes and still can’t see what else could have been intended.

Alignment: Chaotic Good!

Those places are fun to work in, especially if you have already found another job and you are counting the days before you walk out the door.
